Parquet Courts

In November 2012, Parquet Courts delivered an electrifying performance at the Shacklewell Arms, just a few months before releasing their breakthrough album, "Light Up Gold." This live recording captures them on the cusp of greater recognition, showcasing their unique blend of punk and art rock, a signature style that would soon earn them a fiercely devoted following. Interestingly, at this point in their career, they had just begun to fully embrace their eclectic influences, which would ultimately define their sound. Known for their witty lyrics and energetic performances, the band was really just starting to make a name for themselves in the indie music scene. Their quick rise to fame was not surprising, given that shows like this one hinted at their incredible potential.
